However you feel abt horse racing, pls watch Rags to Riches beat a field of males in the Belmont, the 1st filly in 100yrs. She was so valiant & fierce, I was on my feet cheering, trying not to cry. Arabs rode mares into battle for their bravery & intelligence, even while pregnant.
that’s a keeper for sure. i’ve heard of Ms. Limon, but haven’t read much... Several of my poet friends, here in Boulder, have shared Her poems. I wrote this poem years ago. The horse’s heart is a wonderful metaphor on IWD.
Happy International Women's Day! Let's celebrate all the amazing women around the world, including Ada Limon. She is a talented poet whose work inspires and empowers women everywhere. Let's continue to support and uplift each other every day!
I love this! Especially since yesterday also marked the triumphant return to the races of 2024 Horse of the Year "The Grizzly" Thorpedo Anna, who trounced her rivals decisively. She has a fierce heart! ❤️🐎🔥
None of them truly win. When they can no longer run, they are slaughtered for meat, and their bones are boiled down to produce gelatin and glue. Horseracing is a cruel and exploitative practice.
Back when I rode horses, every single one of the school horses (used for lessons) were girls. They were the ones who were tame and gentle enough to be ridden by kids and inexperienced riders. Boy horses were often too feisty (or in my horse's case, stubborn) to be used for lessons.
